Too many AU accounts?

[MazdaSpeed]

Right, I understand the whole backdating thing for when he's gets his owe card, that was one of the main reasons I added him, what I don't understand is how the au account will show up on his report, will it say the card was opened 1/11? Because that's what it says on my report, or will it say March 2013, because that's when he was added?


I get that when he gets his own amex in a year or 2 that it will be back dated to 2013 and not 2011 to match when I got my card

I can't say for sure which date it will report at, you would think it would report the same date as your's since that's the actual account age.

right, that's what I am hoping

My AU Discover account reports as 10/2002. I can't remember exactly when I was added but I know my parents didn't add me when I was 12. Closer to when I was 15. So it should be actual account age.

thats awesome! do you factor in that for your AAoA? just like a regular account?

It's listed as my oldest account and Amex's CreditSecure calculates it into my AAoA.
